Our attorneys regularly serve as counsel to clients involved in ADR proceedings, as well as act as mediators or arbitrators.

Several members of the team are Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 mediators, including a retired U.S. District Court Judge whose practice is largely focused on serving as a mediator or arbitrator.
